Sample Calculator MVVM in VB.NET

For my work I have developed a small application calculator and now I've decided to share with the community and to show the pattern design MVVM.

First I created the project and have set the folders to the pattern.

I have incorporated the necessary classes to use the pattern are:

DelegateCommand

ViewModelBase

After that incorporates a usercontrol to create the application view

                    End If
                    _FirstNumber = CDbl(Display)

                End If
        End
Select

    End Sub
    Private Sub ExecuteOperatorPress(ByVal Param As Object)
        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(LastOperator) Then
            FirstNumber = CDbl(Display)
            If CStr(Param) <> "=" Then
                LastOperator = CType(Param, String)
            End If
 
            If LastOperator = "√" Then
                Calculate()
            End If
        Else
            LastNumber = CDbl(Display)
            If CStr(Param) <> "=" Then
                LastOperator = CType(Param, String)
            End If
            Calculate()
        End If
 
    End Sub
    Private Sub Calculate()
        Select Case LastOperator
            Case Is = "%"
                Result = FirstNumber * LastNumber / 100
 
            Case Is = "X"
                Result = FirstNumber * LastNumber
 
            Case Is = "/"
                Result = FirstNumber / LastNumber
            Case Is = "+"
                Result = FirstNumber + LastNumber
 
            Case Is = "-"
                Result = FirstNumber - LastNumber
 
            Case Is = "√"
                Result = CDbl(Display)
                Result = Math.Sqrt(Result)
        End Select
        Display = Result
        LastOperator = String.Empty
        FirstNumber = 0
        LastNumber = 0

    End
Sub
End Class 

And it links commands to the buttons on the view like this

<Button Content="-" Height="30" Width="30"  Command="{Binding Path=OperatorPress}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path=Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>

And

            <Button Width="45" Height="45" Content="CE" Command="{Binding Path=NumberPress}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path=Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>

After, we binds the keypress (this is new  in wpf 4.0)

        <KeyBinding Key="NumPad0" Command="{Binding Path=NumberPress}"  CommandParameter="0"/>
        <KeyBinding Key="Decimal" Command="{Binding Path=NumberPress}"  CommandParameter=","/>

        <KeyBinding Key="Add" Command="{Binding Path=OperatorPress}"  CommandParameter="+"/>
